I suggest visiting early in the morning or around 5 PM for stunning sunsets. The beach is much less crowded, and the views are just breathtaking!

Look out for local vendors selling fresh coconut water. It’s super refreshing and much cheaper than the drinks on the beach. Bonus – you can ask them to chop it open for you!

Check out the local vendors for fresh ceviche instead of the restaurant food. I tried some and it was delish and way cheaper!

Don't forget to bring your own water and snacks! I was shocked at how pricey the beachside amenities were; totally worth saving some cash.

I recommend hitting the beach early, around 8 AM before the crowds show up. You get the best spot and can enjoy the sunrise too!

My advice is to wander around the area a bit. The nearby shops have some unique souvenirs that aren't sold in the tourist traps nearby.

If you want to rent beach chairs, don’t forget to negotiate. Some places add extra fees, but a little haggling can save you a nice chunk of change. I wish I had known that earlier.

My advice is to arrive by 8 AM to snag a good spot... The beach fills up fast, so if you want a nice view without the crowds, early bird definitely gets the worm!

Watch out for the seaweed! Check local updates as it can be a bit of a nuisance, but you can usually find clearer spots.

For some great local food, head to a nearby taco stand after your beach day—better prices and tastier than the touristy spots around

Get there early, around 8 AM, to snag a good spot! It gets crowded as the day goes on, especially on weekends.

I think the beach can be windy, so bringing a beach umbrella is a lifesaver. On my last visit, I didn’t bring one and ended up with a sunburn - not fun!

I suggest getting there early, like around 7 AM. The sunrise is breathtaking and you’ll snag a good spot before the crowds show up. Plus, it’s cooler and more peaceful in the morning.

Check out the free public restrooms near the beach. They’re clean and save you the hassle of going all the way back to your hotel. It’s a little detail, but it helps a lot!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks. The beach vendors can be pricey, so having your own cooler makes it easier to save some cash. Plus, you can enjoy your food while soaking up the sun!

I suggest renting a beach umbrella or cabana. The sun can be intense, and having shade makes a huge difference. Don’t forget to negotiate the price as it can vary!

If you're planning to swim, watch out for the waves! They can be rough at times, so check the beach flags and take it easy if you’re not a strong swimmer. Safety first!
